Jeremiah 31:35–40

³⁵Thus saith the Lord, ⁿwhich giveth the sun for a light by day,

And ^othe ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night,

^pWhich ^qdivideth the sea when the waves thereof roar;

^rThe Lord of hosts is his name:

^36sIf those ^oordinances depart from before me, saith the Lord,

Then the seed of Israel also shall cease

^tFrom being a nation before me for ever.

³⁷Thus saith the Lord;

^uIf heaven above can be measured,

And the foundations of the earth searched out beneath,

^vI will also cast off all the seed of Israel

For all that they have done, saith the Lord.

³⁸Behold, ^wthe days come, saith the Lord,

That the city shall be built to the Lord

From ^xthe tower of Hananeel unto ^ythe gate of the corner.

³⁹And ^zthe measuring line shall yet go forth over against it

Upon the hill ^aGareb, and shall compass about to ^aGoath.

⁴⁰And ^bthe whole valley of the dead bodies, and of the ashes,

And all the fields unto ^cthe brook of Kidron,

Unto ^dthe corner of the horse gate towards the east,

^eShall be holy unto the Lord;

^fIt shall not be plucked up, nor ^fthrown down any more for ever.
